64-bit files are not valid on 32-bit Windows. On 64-bit Windows, everything is fine.

Thanks Valik

That poses a question though

If I'm not mistaken a script compiled on a 32-bit machine should work fine. In this case I'm talking about my Auto-compiler script so If someone uses that on a 64-bit machine will the compiled script work on both types of systems? It Specifies Aut2ExeRight now.

Edit;

I think I know what I'll have to do here

Just make the x64 compile option available on machines that have x64 Architecture.

Thats a bummer. I was hoping to be able to compile 2 versions of a script. 1 for 32 bit and another for 64 bit systems.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, so I'll just explain it this way which should cover everything.

32-bit binaries run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

64-bit binaries run on 64-bit Windows.

64-bit binaries run faster on 64-bit Windows than 32-bit binaries run on 64-bit Windows. That's why there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of some tools like Aut2Exe. This is performance-only. You can compile a 64-bit script by setting the appropriate option in Aut2Exe. It doesn't matter whether Aut2Exe itself is 32-bit or 64-bit. The inverse is true as well; you can compile 32-bit scripts on 64-bit Windows using either the 32-bit or 64-bit Aut2Exe.

In short, the binary itself does not affect the output it produces.

Edit: Regarding your edit: You can compile 64-bit scripts from 32-bit Windows. That is, after-all, what the option is for and why it's not disabled. If you couldn't, the option wouldn't be present or wouldn't be enabled.
